I downvoted and I'm not angry. I just recognize that this post is intentionally inflammatory and trolling. As is common from OP.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why is it inflammatory? As a mod I'm genuinely surprised people are upset by this, it is a white house press statement with an editorialized title that summarizes the event quickly and without any commentary on it.

You said it in your reply. An editorialized title--an extremely editorialized title, which was clearly crafted specifically to garner outrage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I dont see it garnering outrage? It seems in line with what Kamala Harris said.

Posting news in a news comm of a presidential speech that is literally a link to the official government website of that president is "intentionally inflammatory and trolling"? This is a joke, right? You're doing a bit and playing a caricature of a typical lib clown?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's the title that is inflammatory and trolling. Do you really not understand that editorializing is a thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Do you really not understand that titling any fucking post ever is doing the same thing? Fucking clown.

If the title was a NYT headline with two words changed: "Kamala Harris makes an official statement in condemnation of political terrorism" you wouldn't be clutching your pearls, now would you? OP's title is far more factual though, and that's what you actually don't like. You people are so transparent it's laughable.

Sorry bro guess it should have been 'President Harris sends support to the troops in Isreal, god is on the side of the IDF'

Wtf are you talking about? It's literally a statement from the Whitehouse. How is Yog being intentionally inflammatory?!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

My downvote wasn't in anger. It's more about the fact that this isn't a news article which makes it questionably breaking the rules of this /c/. Combined with the headline being serious editorializing via broad generalization of what the statement is. Not saying it's not true, just that it's a unnecessarily sensational.

To be honest i would trust Yogthos who has been posting news threads for years than some paid journalists that has an agenda to whatever news they report. It resembles the old forum era where if you hang around long enough, you can trust/trust a little some users.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Trust no one, especially not yourself. Fuck that guy.

...this isn't a news article... the headline being serious editorializing... Not saying it's not true...

It's a press release from the White House. Why would you need a journalist to stenograph it for it to become news?

And OP's description is good, it helps cut through the typical liberal mealy-mouthed framings that are, otherwise, the only ones you would ever hear.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Why would you need a journalist to stenograph it for it to become news?

Because like Yogthos said, the only consumption liberals do comes pre-digested by the Jake Tappers, Rachel Maddows, and Wolf Blitzers of the world. It'd be funny in a disgusting way if these milquetoast know-nothing partisans didn't have hands on the levers of the world.

But who will chew up this statement and feed it to me like a baby bird. How am I supposed to form an opinion without a media propagandist telling me what to think!

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 weeks ago
